Well, for someone who fell in love with film music as a kid by movies like 'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom' in the mid-80s, I went totally nuts when I discovered you could actually buy that music on CD in the mid-90s. 'Jurassic Park' was the one. I don't watch documentaries in theatres very often, but this one might be different.

Related note...Jerry Goldsmith just received a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Dang, I somehow manage to always miss these ceremonies despite living so close to em lol. Even missed the Chris Pratt one a couple weeks ago

Just saw this in NYC and was thoroughly impressed. Very, very good job.

Color me intrigued. I vastly prefer film scores over the lyrical garbage that floods the airwaves these days.

I say this as John Legend whines from above whilst sitting at my work computer.

Ow, I forgot about this one completely. Thanks for bumping it.

Just read about this in the new EW.

I am a film score enthusiast, my all time favorite is Interstellar (the use of the Organ is sheer genius)

Im actually going to see Hans Zimmer in concert in a month, i can not wait! Paid a premium to have good seats, but for my all time favorite composer, it is worth every penny!

May see if any specialty theaters are playing this movie around me.

Oh, I can't wait to see this. I hope it's available soon.

Zimmer gets a lot of love in it. You'll be happy.

So, who does the score for the film?

TBH I remember no score. There's constantly clips from films so there's no need for it

If if is mostly praise for Zimmer I will be skipping this. His "music" sounds like he fell asleep face down on his keyboard for a few hours and some one recorded it.

esteban² · 06-17-2017, 01:08 AM

As someone who once was a fan, became an ex-fan and became a semi-fan again the last couple of years, I can not agree with that.

I never said "mostly." He's discussed towards the end with Danny Elfman.

Unfortunately, Williams is not interviewed. A single interview (with YouTube quality) is used for the entirety of his segment. It's the joint interview with Spielberg.

Just watched this (via hoopla/Chromecast, but will now be buying the blu-ray).
Man, I loved this movie. I got goosebumps multiple times watching this. It's partially a behind-the-scenes look at the scoring of film, but it's more a celebration of film music. My only complaint is that it is only an hour and a half long. I could have watched a three hour cut. Hell, I could watch a 10-part Ken Burns documentary on the subject. 5/5

esteban² · 02-02-2018, 06:09 AM

Still hoping this will be on Netflix eventually.
